Challenge: Pair local looks from Rhode Island boutiques with the fashion found in this fall’s film line up.

You can get a better look at the issue by liking its Facebook page here, or picking it up on newsstands, but here’s the abridged version:
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo A metallic jacquard bustier dress by Tibi from ZuZu’s Petals (Cranston & Providence)
Footloose I’m sure the remake is great, but for this one I channeled the original, choosing a bold, one shoulder Amber dress by Kara Janx from Chace N’Lulu, Newport (ps: now through Sunday, all dresses are 30% off at Chace N’ Lulu!)
Higher Ground For film adaptation of Carolyn S. Briggs’ autobiography, I picked an Aryn K. studded sleeve Ikat maxi dress from Queen of Hearts (Providence)
I Don’t Know How She Does It So it wasn’t exactly the blockbuster the studio was hoping for, but for the mommy-meets-mogul character, it’s all about this ruffled shirt dress with a sexy slit from White House Black Market (Cranston)
Wanderlust For this power couple meets flower power pic, the clear choice was global tunics from Rib & Rhein, Newport
